Share your VPN Experience

January 3rd, 2011 in VPN 642-647 Go to comments

Cisco has made changes for the Security exams by replacing the old CCSP with the new CCNP Security Certification with 4 modules: Secure, Firewall, IPS and VPN. In fact, the old CCSP and the new CCNP Security are very similar. Many candidates have requested us to put up materials for these new exams but it is a time-consuming work. In the mean time, we created the “Share your experience” for the VPN exam. We really hope anyone who read securitytut, 9tut, digitaltut, certprepare, networktut and voicetut contribute to these sections as your experience is invaluable for CCNP Security learners to complete their goals.

Please share with us your experience after taking the VPN 642-647 exam, your materials, the way you learned, your recommendations…

  1. WHOIS
    December 20th, 2011

    hi Sergi

    your ans is wrong, the correct one is on the dump. the key word here is “parameters”
    and crypto map is just for ACL (local/remote)
    what if you want to tweek the IKE parameters under IPSec? then going to crypto map would not help.
    So the correct ans is IPsec

  2. WHOIS
    December 20th, 2011

    cisco_Whiz is correct, it can be configured under Group Policy->Advance->AnyConnect Client->DPD

    you can enable either or both
    Gateway side Detection
    Clinent side Detection

    Hello Syed

    There is no issue with testing through laptop and hotspot are in the dump exactly like in exam .Have a video shows how to configure hotspots but does not explain . Need it let me know.

  8. syed
    December 24th, 2011

    @Null: are you talking about the videos available on this forum for hotspot configuration?

  9. syed
    December 24th, 2011

    pls also confirm if there are any wrong answers as I am appearing next week..

  10. syed
    December 24th, 2011

    They didn’t show the test in video, can u please explain the test and testing result….

  11. null
    December 24th, 2011

    Yes am talking about that video about hotspot answers and simulation are the same like in exam all you need to know is how to get there. As far as i have studied the dumps it seems perfect to me.
    Study this carefully and you will pass for sure.

    For hotspot

    for Simulation

    you will be given a url through the sim Instructions to enter into the browser through the laptop. if you have completed the sim successfully a page appears. In the instruction you “will be given it tells you where to find the anyconnect option and you will be required to start it.” Very Simple do not worry.

    I do not have any quick reference for vpn guide.

  13. null
    December 26th, 2011

    It is enough to pass the exam together with link for the hotpost and sim . Thats all you need.

  14. syed
    December 26th, 2011

    @null: would be thankful if you can clarify following:

    - ASDM version used in simulation in vce dumps is 6.0 but in video 6.3 has been used, coz in 6.0 anyconnect client option is not given..which version was given in actual exam?
    - order of configuration is changed in vce dumps and video, which order should we use? starting from user configuration or from new profile as given in scenario?
    - to test VPN we need to connect to laptop open web browser and enter URL, after that we will go to ssl vpn port->network access->start anyconnect right? what else we have to do after that?

  15. syed
    December 26th, 2011

    for third question I mean how can we verify if VPN configuration is OK?

  16. null
    December 27th, 2011

    Not To sure which version was used. But through Sims instruction you will be told where to get the anyconnect option as was I.

    I started with Creating ip address pool then Internal group policy then Connection Profile and lastly local user. As for the testing vpn in the sim Instruction after you start anyconnect that all that it is required. ACCESSing THE URL THROUGH THE LAPTOP AND START THE ANYCONNECT CONFIRMS THAT YOUR CONFIGURATIONS ARE OK

  17. syed
    December 28th, 2011

    @null: Do we need to select group policy contractor as well in user configuration apart from locking? as this has not been done in VCE dumps but in simulation and not even required in scenario??

    A user who establishes clientless ssl vpn session is presented with a webpage. The administrator has the option to customize the “look and feel” of the page. Which are the three components of the vpn customization editor ?(Choose Three)
    A. Application Page
    B. Login Page
    C. Networking Page
    D. Logout Page
    E. Home Page
    F. Portal Page

    I got to different answers in P4S and VCE(80q).
    P4S. B,E,F
    VCE. B,D,F

    I vote for VCE file cuz looks correct to me.
    Any opinion on this ?

    Does anyone know if we can practice the lab/sim within the ASDM DEMO? I can not seem to get it to work. Has anyone come up with a way or steps to actually practice it? Or do we just watch the video for the steps and try it during the actual exam? ~Cheers

    Looking up NEW question: Lets get some discussion going.

    3 new questions:
    -Where is Dead Peer Detection configured?
    I would assume under ~ crypto isakmp ~ so that would be your answer? Can anyone confirm or dispute this?
    On-Demand DPD Configuration Example
    The following example shows how to configure on-demand DPD messages. In this example, DPD messages will be sent every 60 seconds and every 5 seconds between retries if the peer does not respond:
    Router(config)# crypto isakmp keepalive 60 5
    Periodic DPD Configuration Example
    The following example shows how to configure periodic DPD messages. In this example, DPD messages are to be sent at intervals of 10 seconds:
    Router(config)# crypto isakmp keepalive 10 periodic
    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    -Which VPN Client menu is use check MD5 thumbprint? Under VPN Client/ Certificate Properties ~Can anyone confirm or dispute this?
    Thumbprint—The MD5 and SHA-1 hash to the certificate’s complete contents. This provides a way to validate the certificate’s authenticity. For example, if you contact the issuing CA, you can use this identifier to verify that this is the correct certificate to use.
